Historic Oakland Cemetery

Oakland's 48 acres of Victorian gardens, which were featured in GQ magazine as a top private event place, provide a range of magnificent locations for your big occasion. Oakland Cemetery, one of Atlanta's most beautiful and distinctive settings, can accommodate events for two or 200 people. The Historic Oakland Foundation will assist you in planning a party, wedding, or other private event at Oakland Cemetery, whether it is for two or 200 visitors. Our Private Events team will work closely with you to ensure that everything runs well on the day of the event. Do you require a caterer? We have a network of contacts! Do you need assistance with logistics? We're here to assist you! Funeral home weddings are becoming increasingly popular, and Atlanta's historic Oakland Cemetery is a particularly gorgeous location for an outdoor ceremony. As a Victorian garden cemetery and the site of Atlanta's first park, we're continuing on the Victorian tradition of making Oakland a place to commemorate the lives and loves of the city's 70,000 citizens, as did the Victorians. A covered space that can accommodate up to 50 people is available in addition to open-air locations that may accommodate up to 250 guests in total. When not in use as a functioning greenhouse, the Beaumont Allen Greenhouse may be rented out for special events from September through May. Depending on the layout, the greenhouse can be arranged in a variety of different ways. During the fall, winter, and spring, the Beaumont Allen Greenhouse is available for rent to the general public. Oakland's 48 acres offer a variety of unique and attractive settings for a wide range of private events of varied sizes and scope. The Private Events Coordinator would be pleased to schedule a visit for you in order to show you several sites that may be suitable for the event you are organizing. Please contact her at [email protected]. When you contract with a venue, you are guaranteed the exclusive use of the contracted area throughout the duration of your event.
